Homemade 'Sel Fou'

[pufin3]

Does anyone else make their own 'Sel Fou'?

I make it a couple of times a year to give to friends and family. A dozen small jars at a time. Friends/family returns the jars so I can reuse them.

My trick with the horseradish is to peel them, rough chop then into the food processor. Pulse until the pieces are the size of small peas. Then into a 225F oven on a cookie sheet until they are thoroughly dry. Then into a coffee bean grinder. The result is a consistency of ground pepper corns.

 There are some recipes on google. I follow the 'www.food.com' recipe.

Sel Fou adds a delicious complex back-note to many dishes.

I have certainly never heard of it by that name but I am familiar with seasoned salts. Googling gives a wide variety of ingredient options even by French bloggers. I just might give one of them a try.   Thanks for sharing.

I echo all Anna said. Thanks.
